Some Advice t. Wives.

Remember that you are mar
ried to man not to a god; be
prepared for imperfections.
Anticipate the discovery by
your husband that you are ''only
woman;" if you were not he
would not care about yon.
Once in a while let your hus
band have the last word; it will
crafty him and be no particular
loss to you.
Be reasonable; it is Il great
deal to ask under some circum
stances, but do try; reasonable
women are rare--be rare
Remember that servants are
made of the same material as
you are; a little coarser grained,
perhaps but the same in essen
tials.
Try and forget yourself; as to
your husband, forget that you
married him, and remember that
he married you; he will then
probably do the reverse.
Opinion of a Leading Editor-Almost all
the diseases that afflict us from infancyto
old age have their origin in a disordered
liver. A really good liver medicine is the
most important in the whole range of
pharmacy. We believe Simmons Liver
Regulator to be the best among them all.
We pin cur faith upon the Regulator, and
II we could persuade every reader who is
in Ill health to buy it, we would willingly
vouch for the benefit each would receive.

A picnic party Sunday afternoon

shell, a relic of the war. 1t was
taken to Maj. Cockrell's house,
and several young men began
pounding it with stones, while the
rest gathered round, filed with
curiosity, to see what was in the
shell. Suddenly there was ter
rife explosion, and the people OF
the town looked toward the
heights astonished. Six of the
persons who were about the shell
were seriously hurt. The list of
these is as follows: Jones Frank,

Much sooner than we expected
when we proposed the holding of
a waterways convention here next
Fall, comes response from Presi.
dent Wood, at New Orleans, that
be will call such a convention for
the Goth and 2lst of October next,
aud to meet in this city. This
gives the merchants and people
generally plenty of time to prepare
for entertaining the delegates in a
style worthy the fame of Memphis.
In view of the Presidents failure
to approve the River and Harbor
bill, the attendance will no doubt
be large. All the States interest.
ed are aroused and may be relied
upon to send their best men with
a purpose to secure the best re.
suits that wisdom can devise.
Congress must be enlightened,
and members of Congress from
the West who cowardly yield to
the pressure of the East should
be persuaded as to their duty, or
elected to stay at home. Presi-
dent Cleveland, too, needs a little
shaking up on this question. He
does not seem to know, or know

But the erowning portion of the
address was his eulogy of the glo-
rious Old South. He was the
friend ofprogress and encouraged
IN every suitable way and on all
proper occasions any enterprise
in which the boasted New South
was engaged, yet he begged to be
INDUCED in a little sentimentalism
towards his first love, the Old,
Old South, with her glorious mem.
ories, her happy homes, her brave
men and her lovely women; and
he exhorted his hearers to cherish
this sentimentalism, for out of it
were the issues of life to the New
South. 1t was the ashes out of
which her Phoenix was to spring I;
1t was worth more to the South of
to-day than all of her other pos
sessions.
He urged his hearers to cherish
that indefnable something which
made the SoutherAer as unique a
character as the Spartan at Their.

with the song of triumph on his
lips-that something which dis.
tiDguishes him from all other peo.

enabled him to contend for foui
long years with an enrolment oi
only six hundred thousand against
a multitude like that with whicl
Xerxes crossed the Hellespont
yea against two million six hun

terles add up more than one.hal
